The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

"This Atai! He's got something."

Qing Yinyan nodded as well. The axe looked harmless, yet it could unleash such powerful energy.

The next few matches were rather average, all evenly matched and with only average skills.

"There's nothing else to see! Let's go, it's getting dark now, why don't we head to the auction house?"

"Oh! Auctions are always held at night!"

"Yes, it's usually to prevent someone else from snatching the item after it's been auctioned off."

"Someone else could steal it!"

Looking at the woman in front of him who knew nothing, Jiang Chuan sighed.

You need to go out into society more often, otherwise you might get abducted and not even know it.

"Let's go, I'll take you there, and we'd better dress in all black."

After saying that, the two simply bought black clothes and a black hat, which could be lightly laid on top.

"That's about right. We can also easily cover it up so that others won't discover our true identities."

After dressing up simply, the two went inside and found that the auction house was surprisingly crowded.

"Please show your sect cards, thank you."

"Sect Card?"

As soon as Qing Yinyan and Jiang Chuan sat down, they were asked for sect cards, but neither of them had ever heard of what a sect card was.

"We...we didn't, we're not from any sect."

This manager was exceptionally polite.

"Without a sect card, you are not allowed to enter our sect, unless..."

"Unless what?"

Jiang Chuan asked curiously, since he hadn't asked clearly when he came that he needed a sect card, otherwise he would have come for nothing.

"Unless you have something of value to auction off."

The manager smiled faintly at Jiang Chuan and Qing Yinyan, as if to say, "Welcome to visit again next time."

Jiang Chuan raised his hand and said.

"and many more!"

Qing Yinyan was displeased. Was Jiang Chuan going to auction off his Dragon Roar Sword or Fire Sword? If so, she would definitely be the first to oppose it.

Looking into Qing Yinyan's eyes, Jiang Chuan knew she wouldn't let him take out his valuable items.

"Actually, I have a set of armor here, which is an ancient artifact and was personally crafted by Thor. I hope you can auction it off, or we can barter it."

After saying that, Jiang Chuan summoned his armor in front of the two of them.

Sure enough, the moment the armor was worn, the aura changed, and the person's presence became much stronger.

Furthermore, the electric currents on the armor were constantly converging, slowly reminding everyone.

"Be careful not to touch it, I'll take it off slowly."

The managers had never seen anything like this before. Although he had seen many treasures, he was helpless in the face of this armor.

"Don't go! I'm going to find some experts here. Don't go!"

Having such a powerful auction item is bound to cause a huge uproar, so how could the manager possibly let it go?

Qing Yinyan looked at Jiang Chuan with a reproachful gaze, and then said.

"Look at you, you've given away such an important suit of armor to someone else this time. What are we going to do now? It's such a valuable item."

Jiang Chuan blushed and began her endless mode of sophistry.

"I don't need to wear armor. I don't usually like to use it in battle. I prefer the armor of the Dragon Roar Sword."

After saying that, Jiang Chuan activated the Man-Sword Unity mode, which was exceptionally powerful.

The armor on top was made of airflow, making it exceptionally lifelike, especially the dragon roar aura emanating from Jiang Chuan.

That kind of aura would send chills down the spine of even ordinary people.

At that moment, an old man walked over in a panic.

"What! Ancient armor, and lightning bolts? Thor, let me see what's going on. Could it really be that armor?"

He kept muttering to himself, and even Jiang Chuan almost didn't recognize him.

"Hello, I am a professional appraiser. I heard that you have the armor personally crafted by Thor. May I take a look?"

After saying that, the old man gestured to show what Thor's armor looked like.

Jiang Chuan summoned the armor, and it truly lived up to its reputation.

The old man adjusted his glasses, threw away the paper and pen in his hand, and couldn't wait to go in and take a look.

"I suggest you stay away. This armor automatically accumulates energy, and you will definitely get hurt by it."

After saying that, Jiang Chuan deliberately raised his voice a little, as if afraid that the other party would not believe him.

After all, the person on the other side is still relatively unfamiliar, and their strength is unknown. If they accidentally hurt themselves after touching them, it would be a loss that doesn't outweigh the gain.

Jiang Chuan looked at the other person, who simply nodded after hearing Jiang Chuan's words.

"It's okay. I know what I'm doing."

After saying that, the old man still reached out his hand and carefully touched the texture of the armor, his eyes never leaving it.

"It's so exquisite! It's completely different from what I imagined. This is the first time I've ever seen it with my own eyes."

Seeing the old man engrossed in his work, Jiang Chuan and Qing Yinyan did not disturb him further.

After all, the armor hasn't harmed the old man yet, and it seems the old man is quite strong, otherwise he would have been stunned by the armor long ago.

"Please come in, gentlemen. I will be auctioning this armor as the grand finale item. Xiao Li, please arrange a better seat for you two, closer to the front."

"Please come in, both of you!"

The manager respectfully led the two to the front.

"Here you go, this is our auction's black gold card. As long as you come, you can get a seat in the first few rows. It was given to you by Teacher He just now."

Jiang Chuan nodded and accepted the black gold card. Sure enough, the black gold card lived up to its name. After taking it, he felt very comfortable, as if it contained spiritual energy.

At this moment, the auction was about to begin, and everyone's attention was focused on the first item.

Good products are usually released as the first or last item, so Jiang Chuan and Qing Yinyan paid extra attention to them.

Everyone was paying extra attention, especially those in the front row, who felt that everyone there was very capable.

Because without strength, it would be impossible to stand on this platform.

"Hello everyone! Today, we have a surprise for you. The first item we're auctioning is the highlight of this auction: a thousand-year-old snow lotus that can enhance internal energy!"

"Thousand-year Snow Lotus!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

"There's even a thousand-year-old snow lotus here, the kind that can regenerate the body and enhance bodily functions, and it's a thousand years old."

Snow lotus is a crystallization of snow-capped mountains, found only at the summit, but it has gradually been seized by human greed.

"It seems this is indeed a major event. This snow lotus, which has been preserved for a thousand years, must have been coveted by many for a long time."

Many people in the audience actually have inside information about the auction, and it's highly likely that many of them are there specifically for the snow lotus.

Qing Yinyan whispered to Jiang Chuan.

"I want this snow lotus."

Jiang Chuan took the simple phrase "I want it" seriously. "Would it be very beneficial for you?"

Qing Yinyan nodded. She really needed this snow lotus. If she could get it, she wouldn't need to go to the extreme cold to cultivate anymore.

Moreover, her body will be tempered, and she will truly become an ice princess.

Jiang Chuan knew that Qing Yinyan was always accurate in her words, so since she really said that...

Jiang Chuan then did his best to help Qing Yinyan seize opportunities.

"Okay! I'll get it for you."

At this point, the host began to announce the starting bid.

Starting bid! 100,000.

That was a considerable sum; back then, one unit of currency could buy a week's worth of food during the apocalypse.

If you're from a poor family, 100,000 yuan is enough to live on for a lifetime.

"One hundred twenty thousand!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"One hundred and sixty thousand!"

"175,000".

...

As the money slowly increased, Jiang Chuan also thought about his own wallet.

Jiang Chuan only has 500,000 yuan to his name right now. If he goes on a price war, he can win this snow lotus.

If you want something else later, you might not have a chance to compete anymore, but if you don't compete, you'll really lose this opportunity.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"

Qing Yinyan stared at Jiang Chuan in astonishment. She never expected that Jiang Chuan would spend 250,000 yuan for her.

"Two hundred and sixty thousand!"

Seeing that others were still raising their prices, Jiang Chuan lost his temper; he had already exceeded the normal market price.

No matter how precious this thousand-year-old snow lotus is, its market price is only 180,000 to 190,000.

Now that the price has been inflated to 250,000, people are still following suit. Is this people going against him?
"Two hundred and eighty thousand!"

Jiang Chuan added another 20,000 yuan. At this point, Qing Yinyan became anxious. She couldn't just empty Jiang Chuan's wallet for her own sake.

"It won't work! Cancel it, cancel it!"

"It can't be withdrawn now. That's how auctions are; once the price goes up, there's no room for negotiation."

Looking at Jiang Chuan's calm expression, Qing Yinyan knew that if the other party dared to raise the price, Jiang Chuan would definitely follow suit.

The other party and the person who raised the price against Jiang Chuan stared intently at Jiang Chuan, but in the end they also gave up bidding against Jiang Chuan.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand! Three! Two! One! Sold!"

Having said that, Jiang Chuan made the final decision and spent 280,000 yuan, far exceeding the market price, to buy a thousand-year-old snow lotus.

Jiang Chuan looked at Qing Yinyan quietly and said.

"This snow lotus is priceless and unavailable. It may be the last thousand-year-old snow lotus in the world. If you want it again, it will be gone. Don't blame me."

Qing Yinyan just pouted, unable to say anything, after all, she really, really wanted this snow lotus.

"Alright! Don't worry about the money, we can still make more. You forgot, my armor hasn't been sold yet."

Qing Yinyan's complexion improved slightly.

The following auction items were all rather random, the kind you could buy or not.

However, the auction was still extremely fierce, especially among the men who had just confronted Jiang Chuan.

The man seemed to be a regular here; he wanted everything, and as long as it was within his reasonable limits, he wanted to take pictures of everything.

"What a spendthrift! She wants to buy everything!"

Jiang Chuan shook his head speechlessly. Next up was the auction of his armor.

The armor auction is the main event, and the previous highlight has been replaced, all in order to achieve a good price when there are the largest crowds this time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the long-awaited grand finale of the auction is here: an ancient suit of armor, once personally crafted by Thor and passed down through generations. Now, our auctioneer has acquired it as a way of giving back to our new and returning customers."

The moment this ancient armor was auctioned off, everyone was stunned. The lightning and electricity flowing from it also gave everyone quite a shock.

"This electric current wasn't added by us; it's built into the armor. If you have enough strength, wearing this armor will make you surpass countless others."

As the host explained, everyone eagerly awaited the auction price, and some even wanted to go on stage to touch the material of the armor.

"Rest assured, we are honest and trustworthy. This was personally crafted by Thor. If it's fake, we will compensate you tenfold. We have every right to say!"

The cheers from the crowd grew louder and louder, it seemed that this auction had captured everyone's attention.

"Alright, I can feel everyone's enthusiasm. Here's the starting bid: 300,000!"

After saying that, the host angrily slammed his fist on the board.

"Four hundred thousand!"

"Half a million!"

...

As the price steadily climbed, eventually approaching a million, Jiang Chuan and Qing Yinyan both gaped in astonishment.

They seemed like a child who had gotten into trouble and didn't know what to do.

"My God! So much money! This armor is almost worth more than the sect's total annual income."

"I've never seen so many in my entire life!"

"one million!"

"One million once, anyone? One million twice, one million..."

"One million and one million!"

Jiang Chuan clearly saw that the man who bid 1.1 million was the same man from before.

It seemed the man was also interested in the armor; the two men locked eyes.

The man opposite Jiang Chuan looked at him with a grin. Jiang Chuan didn't understand what he meant. Maybe the man was mocking him for having plenty of money.

Jiang Chuan didn't say much, but he was already numb. One million one hundred thousand was no small amount; it was definitely a super-rich person.

Some powerful sects may not even reach a million in total annual income, but now they have sold a million, which is absolutely explosive.

"One million one time! One million two times! One million three times! Sold!"

...

The auction was over, and that was about it. People left, and those who had bought things went to check on what they had won.

"Where is my thousand-year-old snow lotus?!"

"Here you are, sir. We've packed up the snow lotus; we hope you're satisfied."

Looking at the perfectly packaged snow lotus, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but admire their excellent service.

"Sir, our platform will take 10% of your 1.05 million cash as profit."

After saying that, the manager took out a gold card containing 1.05 million.

It was the first time Jiang Chuan had ever handled so much money. He took it with trembling hands and then put it in his pocket.

"Brother! You're actually the owner of this armor!" (End of Chapter)
